OK! magazine is featuring Jessica Simpson on their cover. The story? OK! is featuring Jessica’s “My First New Days As A New Mom.” Has she given birth yet?
No, as of April 5, she has not.
But OK! magazine will be on newsstands April 16. By then, Jessica may have given birth. And OK! does not want to be behind its magazine competitors when it comes to the latest celebrity gossip. OK! acts like Jessica already had her baby, saying “the star opens up about her beautiful girl.” In reality, the “beautiful girl” is still a fetus.
To make things worse, OK! shows off Jessica with a baby on the cover. This baby is not Jessica’s baby. And all of the information in this magazine is old, since she has not yet given birth.
OK! is just tricking readers, and the sad thing is that it will probably work. But I think this should somehow be illegal. It’s definitely unethical. But some magazines will do anything to make a sale.
What do you think of OK!’s tactic? Is this okay or is this magazine crossing a line?

This is a desperate way of getting people to buy more magazines. Good thing I don’t take celebrity gossip too seriously. I find it entertaining, but I would never take it as fact. But this is low even for a tabloid, the kid isn’t even born yet! I guess they just wanted to say that got the scoop. I sense a lawsuit in the makings.

Wow. That is pathetic. On the other hand, I didn’t even know Ashton Kutcher was dating Rihanna in the first place!

HAHAHA WTF. That baby they used in the picture looks NOTHING like her, not to mention that the baby is probably months old. I could have done a better Photoshop job than they did. OK magazine = freaking stupid as hell.

I saw this magazine at work today. I was pretty sure she hadn’t given birth yet.

Haha honestly, I would’ve believed it. I don’t keep up with the lives of celebrities unless they’re right in my face about it…which in this case, I’d notice at a check-out line or something. Now that I think about it though, OK! is kinda ridiculous. Can’t Jessica Simpson sue for this??

People care too much about celebrities.

Wow… That’s a new low… I really think magazines like these should be banned… I mean, freedom of expression is good and all but this is false information that people just eat up and that’s not right..
